It's a great bike and great price point for a brand new Triumph but just wasn't right for me. I would have felt self conscious whereas I don't on the Ducati. I would love to have a Scrambler or even more so a BMW R-Nine T and my first choice the new Harley Sportster and while I can go and get either of them whenever, I just can't justify it based on the lack of use the one I have gets to begin with.

I see. I'm 6' at 175 and felt the bike was just right for me, my feet with m/cycle boots easily on the ground,the UK bars are at the right height and I kind of felt at one with this machine.
